I'm a creative person who collects Bohemian & English art glass - mostly Victorian, as well as early 20th C glass such as Art Nouveau & Tango. My favourite types of I'm a creative person who collects Bohemian & English art glass - mostly Victorian, as well as early 20th C glass such as Art Nouveau & Tango. My favourite types of art glass are pieces with applied decoration, Peloton, trailed, threaded, spatter, iridescent, MOP satin, & rainbow glass. Favourite makers include Kralik, Welz, Harrach, Pallme Koenig, Rindskopf, Loetz, Thomas Webb, Stevens & Williams, & Richardsons. I enjoy glass that is unusual & fancy...like me. I also appreciate antique furniture, ceramics, & all manner of interesting old wares full of character & meaning. To live with style, elegance, & dignity is my aim, kind regards, Marin. (Read more)

  1. Wow! So fabulous, Penny! Sit them on a mirror & you'll have an instant "Swan Lake"!
  2. Much appreciated, Scott!
  3. So beautiful!
  4. Many thanks, Scott!
  5. This is a wonderful item, & I had no idea that Welz made a decor like this, either! Now I can live in hope that I might find an example of my own...in any shape! It is interesting to note that the B...
  6. This is a very interesting piece, Kevin! The satin finish is not often seen on this type of item. Spatter looks like it has some slightly "jagged" edges, rather than just all round/oval elements. The...
  7. Wow Kevin, fab find, these are totally gorgeous! May I ask which op shop? :-) I still check out the Sydney scene whenever I can...
  8. I'm loving your artistic arrangements of these finds, absolutely fascinating!
  9. Classic Welz in a lovely colour, & I feel that your notion is perfectly sound, one gleaned from much experience!
  10. Thanks also, Bernard! Yes, definitely a nervous wait...I may be tempted by another item from this seller, but would not consider anything with applied handles or projecting parts - risk is too high ev...
  11. Many thanks, Jenni!
  12. Many thanks, Wow22, & apologies for my mistake. I did accidentally mix up the top & bottom measurements, so well spotted. Have corrected now. It really is a fantastic piece of glass. Seems to me that...
  13. Thank so much, Scott!
  14. Many thanks, Ales, much appreciated. Wonderful pieces in your collection! I was so thrilled to find this vase, the decor has such elegance & a touch of the dramatic about it, too. It seems to be rath...
  15. See Jericho's post here: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/49501-kralik-decor-8--marbled-decor My vase has no markings but that seems to be typical of Czech glass found in Australia.
  16. Many thanks, Deano, much appreciated!
  17. Many thanks, Scott! This is in my "woodland" garden. When I moved in, there was just a couple of large shrubs/small trees with nothing underneath...so I under planted with some smaller perennials, shr...
  18. Many thanks, Bernard! Yes, just starting to get a little autumnal here in the Mountains...
  19. A very cute vase in a pretty, & I think, rarer decor. A charmer indeed!
  20. Many thanks, Bernard! This is a particularly nice collar, too...very pleased!
  21. Many thanks, Scott!
  22. Many thanks, apostata, much appreciated! I had never seen anything like this vase in person before, & once I grabbed it & hurried to the counter to pay for it, I speculated on a maker. Riedel came to...
  23. Thanks also, kivatinitz!
  24. Many thanks, Scott! I feel I was very lucky to find this...especially at the price.
  25. Many thanks, Scott!
  26. Many thanks, Scott, much appreciated!
  27. Much appreciated, kivatinitiz! Yes, it is definitely an unusual decor, which was what caught my attention. Also it was only AU$15!
  28. Much appreciated, Wow22! Yes, it would be good to know comprehensively on these. The pulled loop or feather reminds me a lot of one on another known Rindskopf vase I have (different colour ground tho...
  29. Many thanks, Scott! This is another example of the "silver lining" I found in the uncertain days of 2020 - deciding to shop more locally than internationally. For almost 5 years now, I've found many ...
  30. Excellent from any angle!
  31. Thanks so much, Ales! This style of vase is rare in Australia, I've only seen one other, in blue, in a shop, with a very big price tag. Feeling super lucky about this one!
  32. Many thanks, Scott! It was great to tick this one off my wish list, especially since it didn't cost too much!
  33. Much appreciated, kev123!
  34. Many thanks, Scott!
  35. Could be a Nason piece but don't quote me, I'm not an expert on Italian glass!
  36. Yep, looks like Welz to me! Have a look at sklo42's posts, she has a great collection of Welz life lights in many different colours, plus more info on them as well.
  37. Many thank, kwqd, just added a photo of the base. It's got a very tidy polished pontil mark.
  38. Many thanks, Scott!
  39. No worries, Peggy, I totally get it! We have just got back to normal post - wise this week after a lot of public holidays, so I had three items arrive in quick succession after a longish wait. I'll aw...
  40. Can't wait to see the new one! Keen to see what solid colour it is...
  41. These look great together, hope you can find a blue one soon to complete the set! The four cornered shape of the green basket is pretty cool. Once again I'm left amazed by the seemingly endless varie...
  42. Another super basket by Welz, & also interesting to note the M - shaped (or cat ears) handle. It made me take a good look around all my baskets & I could not find one example of it, yet here you have ...
  43. Thanks also, Bernard!
  44. Many thanks, Scott!
  45. Much appreciated, Jenni!
  46. Many thanks, Marie! Hope you can get your lucky thirteenth piece - best of luck, & wishing you a Happy New Year! Marin.
  47. Wonderful piece, the red berries are very festive!
  48. Many thanks, Scott!
  49. Much appreciated, Craig, for providing the image! Very interesting...
  50. Many thanks, Bernard!
